NCT ID NCT04183803
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a robot can help surgeons place bone tunnels more accurately during ACL reconstruction. Thirty patients with torn ACLs will receive standard surgery, but the robot guides where the tunnels are drilled. The main goal is to see if the robot's planned position matches the actual position after surgery. If it works, this could lead to more consistent and successful ACL repairs.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Rosa robot guidance for tunnel placement
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make ACL surgery more precise, potentially leading to better knee function and faster recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants. The robot may not improve outcomes significantly, and results may not apply to all patients.
